The personal data collected will be processed and used solely for the purpose for which it has been provided to us by you (for example in the context of a registration, a survey, a contest or a request).

Piwik uses cookies. These are text files stored on your computer that serve to make it possible to analyze how people use our Web site. For the purpose, the information collected by means of cookies (including your anonymized/truncated IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored for the purpose of analyzing access to the Web site, which allows us to optimize our site to users’ preferences. In the process, your IP address is anonymized immediately, so that your identity will remain anonymous to us. The information on your visit to our Web site generated by the cookie will not be passed on to third parties.

Right to ObjectIf you do not consent to the storage and analysis of data relative to your visit to our Web site, you can object to the future storage and use at any time. In this case, a so-called “opt-out cookie” is stored on your browser to the effect that Piwik will not collect any data on your visit to our Web site. ATTENTION: To be able to set the opt-out cookie, your browser must be configured to accept cookies. If you delete your cookies, this will result in the opt-out cookie also being deleted, so that you will have to reactivate the opt-out option as described below the next time you visit our Web site.

The default settings of most Web browsers are configured to automatically accept cookies. However, you can block or disable the installation of cookies or set your Web browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. You can also delete cookies from your computer at any time. To do so, please use the Help function in the menu bar of your Web browser or operating system.

Links to other Third-Party Web SitesThe MTU Aero Engines Web sites may include links to other Web sites which are not covered by this privacy statement and whose information practices may be different from ours. MTU Aero Engines accepts no responsibility nor liability of any kind for the contents of such third-party Web sites linked to MTU’s Web site.

Use of Social PluginsSome pages on MTU Aero Engines’ Web site make use of social plugins (e.g. Facebook).

Social plugins are code snippets developed and made available by the social media services that can be used “as is” to be embedded on any Web site. They enable automatic communication (data inter-change) between the Web pages and the social media service in accordance with the relevant policies. For example, as part of this communication, data is dynamically transferred from a social media service to one of our Web sites. Working the other way round, the data of the users accessing our Web pages on the domain, too, is transferred to the social media service (e.g. the IP address of a user’s computer). Whenever social plugins are used on Web sites, they are identified as such through the use of specific buttons. Here is some more detailed information:

2-click solution to ensure data protectionWithout additional measures taken, the social plugins use technical methods that ensure that data (including personal data) is exchanged with the social media service already at the time the Web site using the plugin is displayed and/or loaded. In that case, users have no possibility to opt out of the collection of their data. If you do not want social media services to collate information on your visit to our Web site, be sure not to activate the social plugin button, i.e. do not click it.

SecurityMTU Aero Engines uses technical and organizational security measures in order to protect the data we have under our control against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction and against access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are continually enhanced as new technology becomes available.

E-Mail CommunicationsE-mail communications may involve certain security vulnerabilities. For instance, e-mails may be intercepted and read by experienced Internet users while in transit from and to MTU Aero Engines. If we receive an e-mail from you, we assume we are authorized to reply by e-mail as well. Otherwise, please indicate what type of communication you would prefer instead.

Email newsletterMTU Aero Engines is offering you the possibility to sign up for email newsletters on various topics of interest. To allow us to address our subscribers personally, we collect your name in addition to your email address. When you submit your details, however, disclosure of your name is optional.

Once you have submitted an email address for delivery of the newsletter, you will be required to con-firm your registration by clicking an activation link sent to the email address you provided. We won’t start sending you the newsletter until you have clicked this activation link to confirm that you are the owner of the given email address.

Your email address and any other optional data you have provided will be recorded and stored by us for internal use. Under no circumstances will this data be used for any purpose other than sending out the newsletter.

In addition to the data you provide, we also store your IP address and the dates you signed up and activated your subscription as evidence that you registered correctly. If you choose to deactivate your subscription, this date is also stored. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Detailed information on how to do this can be found in the activation confirmation or in any newsletter email you receive. Alternatively, you can get in touch with us directly via the contact link.

We use the Amazon Simple Email Service for sending out the newsletters and confirmation emails and forward the system-generated emails to Amazon for delivery.

Right to InformationWhen so requested, MTU Aero Engines will inform you as soon as reasonably possible in writing and in compliance with applicable law whether and what personal data relating to you has been stored by us. If incorrect information is stored despite our best efforts to ensure that data is accurate and up to date, we will correct it at your request.
